Videos and Streams

Below are a few favorite streamers as well. Note that there’s an American bias because they stream at times that are convenient for me to watch.

Protoss

iNcontroL – American pro player. He’s not top-top tier, but he is still far better than most of us, and also quite entertaining. He talks through his games quite well

Artosis – American caster. He is quite familiar with the meta and often provides good replay analysis of his games

DrennoC – American amateur streamer. He doesn’t have a huge following, but he commentates continuously through his game and interacts with chat well

Zerg

ViBE – American pro player. He’s best known for ridiculously high APM, but more importantly, he’s constantly talking through his games

Pseudorandom63 – American amateur streamer. He also doesn’t have a big following, but he innovates his own strategies and provides good analysis for his games

Terran

qxc – American pro player. I happen to think he’s really smart and has good micro. He likes bio a lot.
